Local award-winning publisher, Black Ocean, teams up with Boston’s musical king of weird, Walter Sickert, to bring you two nights of art and mayhem.

Friday, November 18th, kicks off with Outrageous Banjo, followed by a literary set of performances curated by Black Ocean, featuring local guerilla poet Alex Gang, and bests-selling Black Ocean author Joe Hall (from Maryland). Then the night heats up with an exclusive Slutcracker Sneak Preview courtesy of the Babes in Boinkland. Following their act, the Somerville Symphony Orkestar will get even more asses shaking as they put the “punk” back in “funk,” and turn the club into “equal parts mosh pit and horah.” To cap off the evening Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys present a very special event: The Chimpwork Orange Experience; art, music and stage show inspired by Anthony Burgess!

Saturday, November 19th, kicks off with James McAndrew (of Milquetoast & Co.) doing a solo set, followed by another Black Ocean curated literary set featuring Jasmine Dreame Wagner (of the Cabinet of Natural Curiosities). Then the the Babes in Boinkland return with ANOTHER exclusive Slutcracker Sneak Preview. Following the Babes, Bury Me Standing will elevate the night to new heights of consciousness with their own brand of “Gypsy Dirge-Core,” intertwining Balkan folksongs with art metal and psychedelia. To cap off the evening Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys present a very special event: Batman and the Chocolate Factory; a super-heroic sugar-fueled dream inspired by Roald Dahl!
